Craziest Soviet Machines You Won't Believe Exist - Part 1

Coming up are some crazy Soviet-era machines you won't believe exist!

Legal Stuff.

[vascoapolonio]

That's what I love about the Soviets:
If you can imagine it,
then you can build it.
Nothing is too much far-fetched

[BuildBuy]

Fun fact, the military MAZ trucks are so reliable at transporting extreme loads through the hostile, muddy Siberian wilderness that they are still widely used as foresting vehicles

[neutralpatriot]

If there is one thing about the Russians that can't be denied, it is the fact they are a creative and resourceful people.

[RaymondCarroll-vn]

I love Soviet engineering. The created wonderful, crazy, brilliant equipment.

"once every 5 minutes"

i mean, one atomic shell shot out a giant sewer pipe with treads destroying entire battlefields is quite good every 5 minutes.

I am sorry if i missed anything, i also tried to get every MAZ Evolution truck in the last few timestamps.

Fun fact about the ekranoplan, it only used the 8 engines to get up to hovering speed, by which point only two of them were needed to keep it moving. It also hovered 4 meters (13 ft) above the water's surface, not inches.

Engineer: How long do you want the barrel to be on the 2B1-OKA?
Soviet Government: *Y E S*

[Dontblamethemonkey]

Could only fire once every 5 minutes.. Because with an atomic warhead the first round is just a warning 😂

[themainman]

"Its too expensive" say the american engineer.
"Its too big and heavy" say the japanese engineer.
"Its too inefficient" say the german engineer.
"For when you want it?" say the soviet engineer.

[thegreat_I_am]

Soviet engineers may have been crazy, but even they wouldn’t have armed nuclear warheads on a sub in dry dock. Whatever damage a fire might’ve done, it couldn’t have caused a nuclear explosion.

[surendersarwa]

Only one who tries, gets the success. Applause for USSR. Kudos to their efforts

[sourabhsmarty]

That ekranoplan is a genius idea. Undetectable by radar or sonar, it would've been a nightmare. Could've revolutionized the amphibious transport.

The AN-2 has a radial piston engine, not a turboprop. It's reliable old school powerplant is the main reason why the bi-plane is still in widespread use, even with several air forces today. Especially in harsh, cold regions the AN-2 can still be operated fine and failures are easily fixable.

[Levsk]

The crazier thing was the mass popularity of technics, machinery and engineering in society in 1900-1970s. Magazines like Popular Mechanics were actually quite, well, popular in Soviet Union. And the Unoin published its own analogical magazines too. And it was just a part of a social ssytem which also included technical-oriented child clubs, youth societies, practical sections and home enthusiasts communities, educational materials, do-it-yourself kits, tech propaganda in literature, cartoons, movies, newspapers, and much more.
Nothing like this is to be seen since. Not even the "self-success" or "obey and survive" propaganda is that impressive.

[nileshpandey]

It appears that with the collapse of soviet Russia we missed out on extraordinary innovation and technology.

[redbullnshimano]

The UFO plane needs a rebirth. Its a great idea. I think aerospace engineers need to have a look at it.

[thecrazy]

FINALLY! A video that actually talks about what's on the thumbnail in its content! WHAT A CONCEPT!

[Flamsterette]

What a great upload for the day before my birthday!

This is the absolute most CHEESE job for any YouTube script writer.

Just hella CHEESING it up from top to bottom, no filter, pure cheddar. Amazin
